Over 75s lose free TV

After the BBC’s policy announcement on the future of over-75s TV licence fee, TV Licensing is advising customers currently receiving a free licence that they need not take any immediate action and that they will be supported through the changes when the current arrangement paid for by the UK Government comes to an end next year.

The BBC said that, from June next year, the BBC will fund a free licence for over 75s in receipt of Pension Credit. Information about the BBC’s decision can be found at www.bbc.co.uk/age
